The first 4 episodes of the TV series Elkızı, which was broadcast on Fox TV on Saturday evenings, met with the audience. The falling ratings of the series indicate that there may be serious problems in the coming weeks.
There is also a reality that the audience is a little distant to the production due to the violent elements in the series, in which Sevda Erginci, İsmail Ege Şaşmaz and Perihan Savaş take the lead roles. It was also thought-provoking that the series, which exaggerated the element of violence, was penalized by RTÜK.
Not being able to adjust the dose of violence and some disturbing scenes in the Elkızı series negatively affected the interest of the audience in the production. Anibal Güleroğlu, one of the bloggers of Milliyet, made an important assessment on this issue.
According to Anibal Güleroğlu, punishment came from both the audience and RTÜK when the dose of evil could not be adjusted…
Here is the author’s evaluation of the Elkızı series: “On the other hand, the fact that the series exaggerates the phenomenon of ‘violence’ and uses it as the main element of attracting attention, is one of the problems that negatively affect the audience’s choice. Undoubtedly, some bullying would be exhibited to reflect the oppression of women.
However, “Elkızı”, who was punished by the RTÜK for killing a pet dog with a gun and giving ample coverage of violence against women, could not manage to adjust the dose of her father’s evil, and they carried the violence to her grandmother, stepmother and even stepmother’s brother in the first episode.
We’ve put up with Resul’s cruelty to leave Ezo’s dog and farm worker in the sun all day because it barks too much, by ‘fiction’.
But unfortunately, we could not digest the way Bekir, who does not mind diving into Ezo’s room without hesitation and sleeping on Ezo’s bed with Seher, beat Ezo fiercely and shot the dog.”
